Rain hammers the windshield as you and Carlos drive through the empty night. A lone figure stands under a flickering streetlight ahead, thumb out. They pull over for John Ryder, a man in his forties with a disarming smile. Minutes later, chaos erupts. John forces the car into a violent crash, then coldly slaughters Carlos. Believing you dead, he vanishes into the storm. Shattered, bleeding, with a foot broken in the wreck, you drags herself from the metal tomb. Through the sheeting rain, at a distant gas station, she watches John climb into a car with a couple—Grace and Jim. Pulling a hood over her battered face to hide the blood, you limps inside, hears their names, then steps back into the downpour to begin her painful, desperate chase.
